Is Paula’s beauty routine getting in way of love?

Friday, April 11th, 2008

In 2006, Paula Abdul appeared on “Love Smart,” a Dr. Phil special meant to help the “Idol” judge find real love. It didn’t have immediate effect, but in 2007 Abdul began quietly dating restaurateur JT Torregiani. Unfortunately for Abdul, it looks like that relationship but reality might have far from that.

“He’s not serious about it and isn’t too invested,” an insider reveal. The source also said that Torregiani “talks to other women on the phone when Paula isn’t around.”
The “American Idol” judge, 45, also didn’t make an appearance at the opening of Beso — a restaurant that JT is a partial owner of — on March 6 where, an insider said, “he was flirting with a lot of women.”

Abdul’s no-show might not have had much to do with Torregiani, but it could have been the increasingly elaborate routine Abdul requires for appearances.

One makeup artist who very recently worked with Abdul said that it routinely takes as long as four hours before she’s satisfied with her hair and makeup. “Getting her out of the house is a major effort,” said the source. “How can it not get in the way of real life?”

Madonna Goes Crazy And Says People Should Avoid Mass Transportation

Saturday, March 29th, 2008

Madonna has gone crazy and criticizes the Mayor of London over traffic congestion fees, mass transportation, and suggesting that musicians in general should be exempt from all taxes.

She says, “Admitting Mr Livingstone wouldn’t be getting her vote, Madonna slammed the congestion charge and warned people not to use the Tube. ‘I would make it so that aspiring musicians wouldn’t have to pay the congestion charge, or pay taxes’. ‘Now all Red Ken [Livingstone] wants is road works going on everywhere. Don’t use the Tube; can’t use the roads? No, I’ll just have to walk.”

Obviously, for someone who lives in driving a vehicle , understanding why the congestion tax is important is well beyond comprehension. As a result of the tax, the overall amount of traffic in London fell by 21 per cent between 2002 and 2006. The result is that 70,000 fewer vehicles are on the streets every day than before the charge began. Taxi use has risen by 13 per cent, bus and coaches by 25 per cent, and bicycles by 49 per cent.

Unfortunately, traffic is still an issue — as the public works sector has ramped up maintenance on roads and caused more delays.

But for someone on the cover of a green issue, shouldn’t Madonna understand the big picture of less emissions and air pollution? Or is she too busy bitching to notice?
